INTRODUCTORY 


HIS  SPECIAL  LIST,  describing  a selected 
number  of  carpets  of  various  high  grade 
Persian  and  Chinese  weaves,  is  presented  out 
of  an  extensive  stock  which  is  regarded  as  the  largest 
and  most  complete  in  the  United  States.  We  shall  be 
pleased  to  send  you  for  approval  any  rug  that  may  be 
required,  transportation  charges  to  be  defrayed  by  you. 

The  few  plates  of  our  own  Shahristan  weave  in 
this  list  illustrate  an  important  feature  of  our  work. 
Woven  on  our  looms  in  the  Orient  from  special 
designs,  they  particularly  appeal  to  those  who  find  it 
difficult  to  secure  in  the  market  rugs  to  fulfill  in  size, 
coloring  and  design  their  decorative  requirements.  We 
would  be  pleased  to  submit  original  sketches  prepared 
by  our  staff  of  artist  designers  for  orders  to  be  executed 
on  our  Shahristan  looms.  Prices  range  from  three  to 
eight  dollars  a square  foot,  according  to  quality. 

One  of  the  floors  in  our  building  is  devoted 
entirely  to  the  display  of  rare  examples  of  the  earliest 
periods  only,  which  will  interest  the  collector  and 
connoisseur.  These  specimens  are  not  included  in  the 
present  list.
